Abstract


The incapability of masonry structures to bear tension has led to the development of a number of specific calculus methods in order to reproduce the results of practice experience. This paper analyzes the Effective Section Method proposed by the Spanish standard FL-90 and its influence on Eurocode 6. Various kinds of resistant sections for a rectangular element in shape are established. Boundaries between these types are also determined. At last a number of diagrams are proposed in order to test the section under different loads. These diagrams are the result of the employ of various calculus methods. Therefore they are conceived as calculus non dimensional abacus.
